I'm absolutely loving how thoroughly The Verge is covering this story. No other tech news site seems to be updating this situation so frequently and with such a supportive tone.
There's a reason for that. While officially for tax purposes, Reddit was made independent because Advance Media didn't want that big a failure on their books, Advance is still the majority shareholder. That means that the following publications either would be on Spez's side, or have to keep muzzled. I think it's better for them to keep out of it rather than wade in and be called out for the mandates that'd come down from Editorial.
A lot of the tech world goes to those as canonical sources. That means it gets kept dark.
